When you want to train or race on your favorite cyclocross or gravel course, finding the perfect helmet is just as important as finding the right bike. Weighing in lighter than the previous Octal, the Octal X MIPS features an extended unibody shell, Mips technology, aramid bridge technology, and an EPS liner. The combination of all of these technologies enhances the strength, durability, and overall performance of the helmet. The Octal X MIPS is also heavily ventilated, providing a cooler feel and efficient aerodynamics.
